A worthy sequel
Kimura Takuya does it again! I don't think I've seen a single bad drama that he's been in.
As for the drama itself, it was a worthy sequel. It had to be cut because of covid but they managed do make it work and you can't really notice that they had to cut 3 episodes except for the fact that it didn't have the usual 10 episodes but just 7. The episodes themselves follow the 1 case/episode and you get to see them protect a lot of people with different needs making it not a boring watch. But you also know what to expect so it's not a drama where you need to but your entire focus on, making it a chill drama even with it's action focus. A drama great for binging but also a drama where you can watch an episode here and there and still be able to catch on what's going on.
There's some nice an subtle character development. There's a hint of romance but it doesn't take over which I like. Shimazaki and his son has a better relationship than in the first season making it an endearing watch as well.
Shimazaki and Takanashi are their usual bickering selves, like brothers, which adds the comedy to the drama.
The music fits the scenes well and the main theme is well recognisable and is a nice tune to listen to.
The show ends with an opening for a season 3 which I would gladly watch. The re-watch value for this one is high since pretty much every episode works as a stand alone, so you can watch your favourite cases without feeling like you have to watch everything from the start.
Anyhow this is a drama that doesn't need that much brain power but isn't boring. And like I say in the beginning this is a worthy sequel and here's hoping for a season 3.
